Pacific Operations Intern, Operations and Supply Chain (6-Month) - Singapore

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. People here don't just create products - they build the kind of wonder that's revolutionised entire industries. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that encourages the innovation that runs through everything we do.

Pacific Operations is a group based in Singapore, responsible for the Finished Goods supply chain across every route to market in the Pacific countries. From upstream product compliance and launch planning through to supply and demand management, channel partner operations, and physical logistics with our 3PL partners - the team ensures Apple products reach customers efficiently across a fast-growing region.

We are looking for analytical, forward-thinking interns to join Pacific Operations on a six-month engagement, with genuine ownership from day one. Depending on your background and interests, you may be placed in one of the following functions:

- Product Launch Readiness (PLR) - Operations Readiness. Align cross-functional teams on product launch strategy - timing, volume, and channel coverage - and track execution to keep launches on plan. You'll be a key point of contact during launch health reviews and checkpoints, crafting detailed execution plans and driving risks to resolution.
- Product Launch Readiness (PLR) - System Readiness. Support New Product Introduction (NPI) launches with regional cross-functional teams, ensuring priority units are delivered according to plan of record and supporting product marketing events and sales enablement - while helping design workflow automation using Generative AI and advanced analytics.
- Supply & Demand Management (SDM) Planning Analyse demand and secure supply across all of Apple's routes to market - Apple Online Store, Apple Retail, and Reseller channels - working alongside experienced planners to evaluate demand, optimise supply, and deliver operational plans that support regional business objectives.
- Retail Fulfilment Operations (RFO) Shape how the team captures, organises and accesses operational knowledge for Apple's direct route-to-market fulfilment (Online/Retail Stores), partnering with subject matter experts and exploring AI/ML capabilities to make knowledge management more scalable.

If you are curious, technically minded, and energised by using data and technology to solve real operational problems, this is for you. You will work alongside experienced supply chain professionals, build real program management experience and supply chain knowledge through your exposure to the breadth of Apple Operations, and sharpen your communication and problem-solving skills working alongside senior leadership.

- In all of these roles, you will have a clear identified set of independant responsibilities to take action on
- You will be working across cross-functional teams - Supply Demand Management, Logistics, Reseller Operations, Retail Fulfilment Ops, and Product Launch Readiness
- Identify continuous improvement opportunities in your roles by leveraging on the GenAI toolkit made available
